Score: 76/100Rankings
The Bissell CleanView Swivel 3836 is a bagless upright with strong suction, swivel steering and a Triple Action Brush Roll, making it effective for pet hair on multiple floor types. It lacks edge-sweep brushes, a brush-on/off switch, and automatic cord rewind, limiting convenience. Ideal for pet owners who value performance and maneuverability at a budget-friendly price.
The Bissell 2252 CleanView Swivel Upright provides strong 800 W suction, two-axis swivel steering, and HEPA filtration, making it effective for pet hair in compact settings.
